abstract note	The unfinished doctoral thesis, From the Golden Rule to the Platinum Rule: An Autoethnographic Account, was built around an autoethnographic narrative of the author’s personal journey over 76 years, from age seven to age 83. The journey began with experiences in a highly sectarian and war-weary Australia where the author came to realise for the first time the importance of the Golden Rule (do unto others as you would have them do unto you) to the betterment of his post-war, embittered country. His journey continued through high school and into the world of work where the conviction grew to the point that he adopted a personal faith in the religion of Bahá'í, one he came to see as possessing a doctrine and mission most aligned to the Golden Rule. In his later research career, the author developed the notion of a complementarity and completeness of the Golden Rule intersecting with the Platinum Rule (do unto others as they would have you do unto them). The conviction about this complementarity developed further through exploring the works of “Heroes of the Golden (and Platinum) Rules”, those who had taken the essence of the doctrine and the mission into practical settings where they made a difference. The autoethnographic narrative combined the author’s theological and educational credentials.
